Plot: Directed by Mike Mitchell, Surviving Christmas finds Drew Latham (Ben Affleck) uneager to spend another lonely Christmas in his own home. Longing for holidays past, Drew travels to his childhood home intending to relive the experience of a family Christmas -- unfortunately, his family no longer lives there. This represents only a small snafu to Drew, who offers the Valco patriarch and his wife (Sopranos star James Gandolfini and Catherine O'Hara) a huge amount of money if they consent to pretend they are his parents and that he is a cherished member of the family. This entails participating in Latham family traditions, such as Christmas tree selection and crowded holiday shopping excursions. Though the Valcos reluctantly go along with Drew's requests, Alicia, their eldest daughter, arrives at home and refuses to comply with her brother's wishes. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide

One of my FAVORITES!

What is with you anti "Surviving Christmas' people? It's an excellent script with modern day Capraesque overtones, a cast deserving of an equal review. Ben Affleck is a natural comedian. The other actors are teriffic as well."Drew Latham", truly sketches, shapes the family and situations.
Perhaps it's geared for and appreciated by we singles. It turns out to be a Wonderful Life despite the dysfunctional bumps along the way.
Hilarious! Let adults have their Christmas movie too!

This moving is great if you're looking for a lite hearted comedy for the Christmas season. It gives you the warm feeling at the end, which is what the Christmas season is all about. You don't have to overthink this one. Just sit back and enjoy!

I've never seen the movie myself but a coworker had looked all over for it and could'nt find it so I offered to order it for her, and she was thrilled

The first time I saw this movie I was feeling a bit depressed...I'd been trying to buy a house for ages and everything kept coming up NO and it was just frustrating...so I had no expectations of being amused - I was just there with a couple of other friends and my daughter...
Boy, did I laugh myself silly! So many of the situations were so incongruous - my favorite was the "mini marshmallows". I couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD...it seemed to take forever. I still can't understand why some people just don't see the humor in it! My daughter and I just laugh at the mention of the movie - and we look forward to watching it every year - I have to wait till she comes home from college this year - she begged me to wait!
